  • What are Angel Lashes? The Hottest Lash Trend for 2023!

    What are Angel Lashes? The Hottest Lash Trend for 2023!

    With 8.5 billion views on TikTok as of May 2023, #lashextensions are one of the most searched for and in-demand beauty treatments right now, however experts in the lash industry believe clients are looking for a more natural look than in previous years. With the the ‘no make-up make-up’ or ‘skinimalism’ trend now moving into the lash industry, clients are making a return to classic individual lash styles or more natural hybrid looks, with full-on volume becoming less popular.

    L-curl lashes have grown in popularity as they give the look of a natural lash that has received a lift, while still providing the extra length of extensions.

    We are also seeing less use of thicker lashes, typically 0.20mm or 0.25mm were the most common lashes in use but with increased use of low-volume fans or ‘spikes’, thinner lashes as low as 0.03mm are growing in their use to create a range of enhanced but still natural looks.

    So… what are Angel lashes? The technique combines classic (individual) lashes with wispy light closed-volume lashes. 0.03mm lashes are used to create closed fans which are mapped around one on one, classic lashes to create a light, wispy but volumised look that imitates a more natural lash growth pattern and mapping with choppy lengths used, rather than uniform lash mapping. The angel lash technique can be used to create a range of styles from doll eye to cat eye to suit a wide range of clients.

  • What’s in a brand name?

    What’s in a brand name?

    We have lots of students ask us about courses such as Eyelash Extensions, Highly Defined Brows and Lash Lift & Tinting. They are confused as they have seen courses offered by beauty suppliers, branded courses and online courses and they don’t know where to start in regards to what the key differences are. First let’s cover what the term trademark is as this is essential to understanding brand-specific courses…

    What is a trademark?

    A trademark is a way for a brand, company, producer or other legal entity to identify themselves and the products or services they produce, provide or source. It is a way for someone to recognise one entity (or brand from another) and for consumers to identify the origin of a product or service.  Trademarks can be registered by the trademark owner and licensed in regards to specific types of usage. By registering a trademark, it can prevent use of the relevant name, logo, phrase or other ‘mark’ to be used without authorised licence from the trademark holder. Such unauthorised use can be considered trademark infringement and can open the person using such up to legal proceedings including prosecution or claims for damages. Brand specific training courses are those offered by such registered trademark owners and they often allow you to then go on to provide treatments using their products, to buy (or resell) their products and to use their logos/brand names within your own advertising.
